I'm glad you posted that link, Robert -- my bit of beauty for the day, a
respite from chaos. The pictures are stunning. I can't imagine what the
ranges
look like "in person". How did I not know about the ice towers?? I am awed
by them. I'm an ocean person, but when we drove through the Grand Tetons
last year it gave me a new appreciation for things lofty and grand. I imagine
that in ice and forget how to think.

Just a note of clarification: it was the Gasherbrum tinies that she
carried. A complete account of her her journey can be found in the
American Alpine Journal for 2004, or at

Robert Paul,
waiting for Hegelian enlightenment, or hypoxia, whichever comes first.
